No sir I don't know what you mean. But I can tell you this: it does suck when good roommates decide to move out. I had one good roommate out of 6 my entire life and it sucked when he broke his leg, couldn't work anymore, and had to move back to the town he was from so that he could live with his mom. It is a part of life though.

Is your roomie going to at least pay you for the last month of rent or is that not even an issue? Only reason I ask is I had a guy bail on me (awesome friend beforehand) 3 months after we signed a lease and because of the situation we were in (I was his boss and it was against company policy that we even hung out after work) I couldn't really dick with him so he ended up being into me for 9 months of rent which I have still yet to see 4 years after the fact.

Definitely feel for you man because it seems like you really like this cat and the two of you mesh well. I'm sure once your alcohol induced stupor wears off you'll be able to look at it through clear eyes and do the right thing for you and your pool table. My only piece of advice is probably an obvious one to most but it wasn't to me at the time: if your financial situation allows it, attempt to avoid all possible knee-jerk reactions and make a decision that is going to make you happy. Your long-term happiness is far more important than getting a roommate that you don't neccesarily care for to help with the rent/mortgage so that you can eat at the Outback 3 extra times a month.

take it easy bro...
you just found out... so you feel panic, that's normal...
wish him luck. help him with this new parenting experience, i bet is quite overwhelming for him too...

about the house, see what happens with the other guy and the girl.. use this time to get to know them better... who knows.. maybe you find something different that makes you feel good...

and if everything fails, see if you can get me a job.. i'd share a house with you :P

Yes. There was to be no fraternizing between salaried employees and hourly employees. Many, many companies here in the states have policies like this. Having lived through it with several companies I can definitely see both sides of the issue. There were managers that abused this and gave preferential treatment to their subordinates because they were buddy-buddy with them outside of work. IMO however it can stifle the creative-thinking process and ultimately lead to a stale work environment because the employees feel out-of-touch with their leadership team.

Sounds to me Pickles that you should be batting for the opposing team. Why don`t you just tell him you love him and put yourself out of your misery. Drunk talk is good honest true talk. :P

Freakin' McDonald's sucks! I didn't know they were militant like that!

I'm sorry to hear about your roomate situation and all...
the most important thing is that you guys still remain friends and keep in touch.

My head hurts. Bad.

I've had a lot of roommates, and this one's definitely the coolest. It's the first one I haven't had to worry about buying my own food, don't have to worry about keeping track of where all my stuff's at, etc. Ya know, we'll alternate and cook big meals all the time, and you know that you don't have to worry about paying for the food because you'll catch up with the next meal. etc. All my past roommates have been cool, but they've usually been stiffs that eat mcdonalds every day, are gone all the time, and will just take/use whatever they want and never return it.

It also means I'm going to have to buy a PS2 so I can keep playing the 3 GTA games that I've bought, I'll need to buy a couch and/or chairs/recliners, and I'll probably have to buy a good soundsystem for my living room because I don't think I'll like not having bass when I run over hooker pedestrians/watch tv. Fuck it.

Oh, and the dog that we got when she was 4 weeks old. Have to part with that one too

**skahound** · October 31, 2004, 01:18:14 PM

If the dog in the avatar is the dog you speak of then I'm sure it's gonna be tough for you.

Man, that sucks that you may be a bit more distant from your mate. Here's my story.. take it as you will.

I have lived with my (female) best friend of 6 years for the last 5 years. About two months ago her boyfriend moved in who's also been a great mate of mine for the last 18 months. Now, when you've got something that 'works' like her and I do you're always loathe to upset the balance. We're cool - why rock the boat? But I decided to go with it... so although change can often be scary - something even better can come out of it.

You just never know what's around the corner bud. There's a silver lining here somewhere. Trust me.
